Mobility Digest Welcomes Doug Simmons!

The title says it all doesn’t it? After years of asking my Buddy Doug Simmons (C’mon’ you had to ask, he’s the guy behind blownfuze.org) to jump over to our community, he finally gave in! Doug is one of the most knowledgeable people in all our Mobility Community. His contributions at blownfuze.org are tremendous and have helped thousands of people. There is a TON of great information and it all was collected and posted by him. Anyway, I have always thought that we should join together and continue to help our community and build awareness to the awesome capabilities our devices have.  That was yesterday, today, he is part of Mobility Digest! I know some of you might be thinking that Doug has a “tell it how it is” approach to things and can be a little rough around the edges. Well, he is still going to tell it exactly like it is, but with just a few less colorful words. LOL So you can count on Doug’s humor, candidness, willingness to address any issue, and tell you exactly how he feels unrestrained. I am very excited to have my buddy Doug part of our website and I cannot wait to read his articles, reviews, editorials, and whatever else he feels like writing! Don’t tell him cause I don’t want him to get a big head, but I am also a fan! I am also hopeful that I can talk him into doing some podcasts with me. Maybe we could call it the D2 Mobility Digest Podcast? Lot’s of possibilities. In any case, please help me welcome the one, the only, Doug Simmons to Mobility Digest!

Oh wait, there’s more, I also asked Doug to write up a small bio on himself so I could introduce him. The result is a hilarious adventure in all his former exploits! Jump after the break to get to know the man behind blownfuze.org, Doug Simmons a little better!

(Re)Enabling Group Texts and Emails

A while back we showed you the new group text and email feature in 6.5.2. There were rumors floating around that MS was going to remove this from future releases as it was not a popular feature. In many of the recent ROMs the feature is missing. It turns out that MS did not remove … Read more

Enabling Ringtones

We’ve done our fair share of tips and tricks around here but one that we didn’t report on is changing the restriction on ringtone limits. Some phones (ok it probably only applies to stock ROMs) limit the size of the ringtone you are allowed to have. So when you go to load a ringtone you … Read more

Marketplace Does Have Good Dev Support

I don’t have enough fingers to count how many articles I’ve read about Marketplace and how it’s unfriendly to developers, nonresponsive, etc. Well I’ve had several opportunities to test these theories both first hand and through conversations with some developers and as it turns out, Marketplace is a pretty friendly place. Let me start with … Read more
